The Japanese belt buckle uses the post-1870 enamels.

The small intricate beads on the chain appear to use the old doro shippo enamels, or at least are trying to imitate Ming-style enamels.

The brown beads seem to have a better polish and more consistent colors, are presumably sometime between 1870 and 1920? Or not?
